I hope they correct the day for night scenes in I Married.  The last copy I got had the nighttime scenes printed without adjusting for the intended night action.  It was bizarre watching her walk around in her nightgown in broad daylight.

Just received my Invaders From Mars disc.  I'll watch it after Christmas, when I am in the mood to cleanse my cinematic palate of all things Yule.

Is this the original US version?

[Monsters For Sale]

Is this the original US version?

Yes.

The U.K. changes are included as an "extra".  Too bad they weren't presented in an alternate, full-length version.

[Mike...In 3-D!]

Yes.

Thank you, sir!

[Monsters For Sale]

Thank you, sir!

I live to serve.

No extras - for the budget-minded, or those few who still do not have a BLU-Ray player.

Actually with their 20% off sale it is only $16! I just bought the Blu-Ray and, with shipping, it was still under $40 (which was my original price-point cut-off).

I got the Invaders From Mars  bluray, and with a video ripper and editing program, I made a restored UK version of the film.  I  ordered the enameled Supreme intelligence pin on their new sale.  Due in tomorrow.
